Strip: Paddle size

Hello everyone,
I am just finishing a 12' Redfish Parr for my 7 year old grandson. I am undecided on paddle size, I need some direction. Should I just scale down an adult paddle by - - 75% ? At 7 years old he is a big boy, 52" tall and 65 lbs. I am already wishing I had built the 14' Parr :(
Thank you,
Randy
